2022 WRX- Really only 271hp? Dyno Test and Discussion with BCP! 

Bigger engine, heftier internals. The numbers are insane and its just the beginning.

Some great info/facts there.. You’ve picked up a sub, look forward to more VB content👍

Your dyno is exactly what my experience ( 60 years of building and racing ) has shown with my VB.

Excellent Alex! Didn’t know you put this out - parallel timing with the WRX that you did work on for literally weeks later. Air intake and OTS tuning alone got me 317 whp and 341 torque at 93 octane. Can’t wait for your next videos.

alex tuned my VA WRX and this dude knows his fucking shit. dudes awesome. loved having him tune it.

I'd say 6K is probably a safe rev limit for the engine, as we know Car companies for the most part try to keep it safe/long term use for their customers. Yet I am hoping the transmission, head gaskets, head, and engine itself is an improvement on previous models.

Nice job! Thanks!!

Cant wait for my warranty to be up so I can scoop a tune from you guys. Definitely looking forward to getting an E-tune in the future. Excited for more VB content!

I’m a sucker for VB content 😁 I know exact numbers don’t mean much dyno to dyno but I think Subaru may have stated wheel hp/tq numbers instead of crank hp/tq for this gen or they just downplayed it like you said for some reason 😂 I’ve seen quite a few bone stock cars dyno around 260/270 at the wheel. 💪🏻🔥🔥 Can’t wait to see more

Not sure how accurate the integrated OEM boost meter is but My stock 2023 base reads 13.1 max boost

biggest downer with the 22 is the 6k redline. soon as you get into the power you hit a wall, hope a tune opens that up a little.

Where's the tuned VB video? It's been two months!

This car is my daily but I want more power, thinking cold air intake and custom tune with Cobb does your company do etunes

see you soon fs

First comment: That's interesting Alex, thanks for sharing 👍🏼 i really though it's less powerful than previous generation due to the CVT. Speaking of CVT, hows the car feel with it?! And do u think it'll hold mods as good as previous gens?

Just like buyig a new motorcycle. It can be driven hard straight off the lot. The break in period is for the rider to get used to the new bike and for the tires to wear in.

Nothing quite like a $30k+ "sports car" making 250whp. Excited to see what a couple bolt on's can do for the platform.

I'd like to see if the new engine can handle more than two hot laps around a track before blowing.

Nice vid, so with about 18% drivetrain loss that puts the VB at ~310bhp over the 271bhp

CVT? 6MT?

Let's see it with a e30 tune.

So they're taking an engine with 50 miles on it straight to the torture chamber?? No break-in at all??

50 miles and already flooring it? yikes, i have the 22 wrx in dark grey and yeah it hard to not push it in its first 1000 mile break-in period, i mean look at donut media, they put new engines in, never broke them in and look what happened a few hundred miles later, idk about tuning a car with only 50 miles on it cause engine damage can be so subtle and happen and you dont know about it and youre tuning off a soon to be non running engine, but hats off to you good luck guys

I feel like these cars are over rated people are getting super excited about these numbers and gains and are worried about numbers and gains I want to know if this car is going to be able to hold 400 WHP AND 450 WTRQ after putting 50k hard miles on it this car still has the shit ass split case 6speed in it I truly don’t believe we are going to know the FA24 capabilities until someone does the STI drivetrain swap once I did the STI drivetrain swap on my 2019 wrx I eliminated the biggest weak point of the car and was able to push the car without worring about it breaking cuz everyone thinks the FA20s weak point is the Rods if you build the car correctly you can run 400whp and 420trq in a FA20 for 50k miles Becuase the weak point on my build was the drivetrain not the engine I just really want to see how long these FA24s handle power and the longevity of them Becuase I’m honestly thinking about adding one to the lineup but it’s just to early for me I really want to see more one with hard miles on it that has been tuned for a long time more parts availability I just feel these guys going out and buying them and throwing all these parts on these cars not knowing how long the motor will last is a huge risk all I can say is I hope you have deep pockets or buy a FA24 block and have it sitting on the side line cuz this happend with the FA 20 people started throwing huge numbers at them and they started breaking and they got a reputation of blowing up when it was the people not building them correctly or throwing to much power at them with wrong parts or using OTS tunes with wrong parts and the car was labeled and unreliable I just don’t want the same thing to happen to this car I’m a simple guy I love Subarus and I want this car to preform great I’m just afraid some of these guys are gonna try to throw everything they can at them and they are not going to last and they will get labeled as unreliable when it’s really not the case it was someone throwing way to much power at a car that could not handle it just very interested to see what the future holds after these thing have 50,60,70k miles on them IMO just to early to get excited about these numbers it’s throwing down.
